Drive or Ride?

Which department is this interview for?

I'd drive up, make sure you are smart (you don't have to wear a full suit) and be confident. At this stage turning up on a motorbike is not going to win them over, just make sure that you get across your passion (if you have it) for motorbikes.

Suited and booted, and drive across. That way they know you can dress up if needed. You could even say you'd contemplated going on the bike but felt that a suit was more appropriate for the occasion. As others have said, let them know you're passionate about bikes and make sure your cv reflects that.

Good luck.

You could always wear leathers over smart trousers, and put a folded shirt and tie in your backpack. I commute to work like this and I don't look too shabby!

I barely have room for compression thermals under my leathers...I dread to think what a pair of my suit trousers will look like after 125 miles.

Drive up the night before. Get a cheap hotel. Have a good nights sleep and arrive in plenty of time looking smart wearing a full suit. Oh and a tip, don't wear a black suit with a white shirt, makes you look like its your only suit and you kept a shirt from your school days.

Yes turning up on a bike to Triumph would be great but as other have said you need to look the part and the fact you ride is a great talking point. I have always driven or been driven to interviews as turning up with all your bike gear hoping that you still look smart when you get out of it all is just not going to help take the stress off of the occasion.

Best of luck.

my dads gone to all his interviews on his bike.

Just take a big bag and as soon as you get there ( a little early) politely ask for the use of a toilet. Then superman change. and come out just as smart as everybody else, but with a large bag.

If u'd like ask the reception bird if she wouldnt mind looking after it a bit.

They will ask you how your journey was and when you mention how you came by bike and how it was more efficient for you they'll be impressed.

after you've done your bit thank them for there time....superman change...thank the receptionist ...then roll off.

You'll be quietly noticed and if you gave a good confident interview they'll hire you

Okay then... ummm...

Douse yourself in lighter fluid, and set yourself on fire. Jump your bike THROUGH the window into their office. Leap off it as it skids across the floor. Headbutt the HR person, grab the secretary, punch her in the tits, bend her over the table and start doing her up the gary, turn to the interviewer and say, 'Giz that effin' job NOW!'

Definitely drive...

Good to see different opinions on how to do it

I would drive its just easier...though I went to meeting today and the people were like why didn't you ride? I wanted to be well dressed, though they didn't care about just how good am at what I do.
